John Owen examines indwelling sin as a constant, active enmity against God and believers that operates through force and deceit. This internal corruption exhibits a foundational lusting nature, characterized by an habitual propensity toward evil that produces unexpected mental surprisals and immediately embraces temptations. Furthermore, this sin actively fights and wars against the soul by rebelling against the law of grace and aggressively assaulting human affections. Ultimately, recognizing this persistent inner adversary serves to cultivate humility, self-abasement, and a deeper dependence on spiritual grace among believers.
